The
Bugaboo Spire Centennial Climb Project team gets its first glimpse of
the Hound's Tooth - one of many strikingly beautiful granite spires
that make up the mountain group know as the Bugaboos. It is from the
base of this valley that on August 29, 1916 Conrad Kain, accompanied
by Albert and Elizabeth MacCarthy and John Vincent, started their
legendary first ascent of Bugaboo Spire. (Part of the ongoing 16-piece exhibition at the White Museum of the Canadian Rockies.)
